1. Know how to draw and use bright, solid colors. 2. Have low expectations. 3. Do NOT expect any of the following (at least in Graphic Design I): - to get an A on any assignment without a fight - to get an O for your citizenship score - to receive constructive criticism

Class of 2023
Art and technology have always interested me, so I figured I would take the Graphic Design I course in my freshman year. Unfortunately, the teacher rarely spoke to us, didn't get in front of the class to teach us, and gave us very little advice. You have to be extraordinary and always far above and beyond normal expectations to get anything higher than an 80% on your assignments, and 99. 9% of his students will get less than an O for their quarterly citizenship grades. Being the overachiever I've always been, I frequently tried asking him how I could improve my work, but I never received a constructive response. You should take an art or drawing class before this class because the sketches you're required to make are more important for your grade than your digital work.
